What do people today act like is new, when it's already have been a thing or already been around? ( kbin.social )

Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing....

Yeah, the market is flooded with cheap VR headsets with eye and hand tracking! Stupid Apple! /s

Corvid ,

This is great! Account portability is one of the biggest reasons BlueSky gave for developing ATProto instead of using ActivityPub. This could be a way of getting them to switch to the standard and expand the fediverse in the process.

Corvid ,

Not in Utica, no. It’s all Albany expression.

This insane isolationism from the vocal minority will kill ActivityPub.
The fact that the author is now backing down and switching to an opt-in system is infuriating. Makes want to fork the project and host a copy of the bridge that’s opt-out.

Corvid ,

That’s exactly the point. Isolationists instances can always defederate bridges if they don’t like them. This outrage is them imposing their will on the rest of the fediverse.

Bridgy doesn’t scrape anything. It works the same as any other ActivityPub instance, the only difference is that it converts some JSON from one format to another.

It also converts edit and deletion events, so in your scenario it would relay that you want your poem or photo deleted.

This isn’t a web scrapper that reposts content like all the bots reposting Reddit threads to Lemmy. This is a protocol translator between federated networks that speak different languages.

Corvid ,

Not entirely sure what you mean by that. It deletes posts in the same way that any other ActivityPub server does, by federating the deletion request.

It’s up to the receiving servers to handle that request and delete the post. You can easily have an ActivityPub native server that doesn’t honor those requests.

Corvid ,

The good news is that none of the large instances are going for these insane policies. Small instances and solo instances can defederate themselves into irrelevance all they want, just like beehaw did.

We're the creators of Lemmy, Ask Us Anything. *Starts Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST*

This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today....

Corvid ,

No, it's a fictional instance used to make a point.
